Linked Entities disable load - effect on data storage

I started playing around recently with dataflows.

From what I can see, you are correct (point 1).

In my case I'm more interested in the auto-bind feature of deployment pipelines, and that won't work unless the linked entities are loaded.

I'm following the recommendation of having an extraction dataflow that simply loads the source tables, and a second dataflow connected (with linked tables) to the first in order to transform the tables.

If I don't load the linked tables on the second dataflow, the won't be auto-bound to their new workspace equivalents when deployed, and will keep referencing the entities in the original workspace (not what we normally intend).

Even though I don't want users to "see" the original linked tables, I need to load them in the new dataflow, otherwise deployment autobind won't work.
